Entering the third quarter of 2026, the domestic ethyl silicone oil market is showing a stable supply and demand, with rigid demand leading the operation trend. Mainstream manufacturers in East China continue to maintain strong quotations, while downstream replenishment demand is mainly based on on-demand rigid demand procurement. The overall stocking pace of the market is cautious. From the current publicly available market information, the mainstream ex factory prices for industrial grade 99% purity ethyl silicone oil are concentrated in the range of 20-33 yuan/kg. Products with different viscosity specifications form a tiered pricing system based on performance differences, and the supply cycle of mainstream manufacturers' conventional products is stable and controllable.
From the supply side, several fine chemical enterprises in China have completed the large-scale production layout of ethyl silicone oil, covering multiple categories such as high viscosity and universal types, which can meet the needs of various fields such as pharmaceutical intermediates, industrial lubricants, and electrical insulation materials. Recently, the demand for orders in downstream precision manufacturing, specialty chemicals, and other fields has been steadily released, coupled with the overall market environment of mixed long and short positions in the silicone oil market. The ethyl silicone oil market has not experienced significant fluctuations, and upstream and downstream enterprises mainly focus on long-term cooperation, with negotiation programs that adapt to the market becoming the mainstream. Industry analysis points out that with the continuous expansion of emerging application scenarios such as downstream low-temperature lubrication and special insulation, the future market for ethyl silicone oil is expected to further open up growth space in the high-end field driven by technological iteration.
